That is a game Apple has never played and will not. They make in excess of 90% of all the profits in the world from mobile commerce and smartphone sales.
That is far more important than market share.

In November Apple's share of profits in the mobile device market was already down to 56%. And as market share erodes, so will the share of the profits. Apple had to introduce lower margin devices (the iPad Mini and the iphone 5C) which also keeps profits lower than they were before. No doubt Apple is still in a great position, but they have their work cut out for them.
